Out of the BOX

Titled: OUT of the BOX. Canvas size - 24 x 36, done in oils. A young woman is confined within a box. The sides and back of the box are bricked and the only escape is through the viewing front, which allows her to interface with the world around her. She has been confined for years by the social customs of her surroundings but has developed her mind and body to the point where she can escape her confinement. This painting shows her literally beginning her climb out. She has just placed her hands upon the frame and is ready to set herself free.
